A rumor used to travel slowly. Someone would mention something after Mass, at work, or over dinner, and maybe it reached a few people by the end of the week if it was juicy enough. Now it takes one post. One clip. One caption written confidently enough to sound true. Suddenly, thousands of people are talking about someone they’ve never met as though they know every detail of their life.

Social media has done a lot of good, no doubt about that. It connects people instantly, gives ordinary voices a platform, and can expose genuine injustice faster than traditional media ever could. But in today’s deeply polarized online culture, people often accuse first and verify later — if they verify at all. Reputations rise or collapse through screenshots, rumors, half-context, and emotionally charged posts shared by strangers chasing outrage, attention, or approval from their side of the internet.

We don’t just share information anymore. We pass judgment — quickly, publicly, and often without the full picture.

And somewhere in all that noise, tearing people apart has started to feel disturbingly normal.

When Opinions Become Weapons​

A bill that critics warn would eliminate key religious protections from criminal bans on acts of “hatred” has passed the Canadian House of Commons, prompting concerns from religious freedom advocates.

Canada’s House of Commons passed the measure, called the “Combatting Hate Act,” Wednesday. The House of Commons approved the legislation in a 186-137 vote that fell along party lines. All opposition to the bill came from the Conservative, New Democratic and Green parties, while all support for the legislation came from the Liberal and Bloc Québécois parties.

The “Combatting Hate Act,” also known as Bill C-09, declares that “Everyone who commits an offence — referred to in this section as the ‘included offence’ — under this Act or any other Act of Parliament, if the commission of the included offence is motivated by hatred based on race, national or ethnic origin, language, colour, religion, sex, age, mental or physical disability, sexual orientation or gender identity or expression” is either “guilty of an indictable offence” or “guilty of an offence punishable on summary conviction.”

The Southern Poverty Law Center defended its decision to keep both the Family Research Council and Turning Point USA on its hate group list during a contentious congressional hearing Tuesday, despite questions from Republican lawmakers about whether such designations can contribute to politically motivated violence.

Bryan Fair, the SPLC's interim president and CEO, faced pointed questioning from Rep. Chip Roy, R-Texas, during a hearing before the House Judiciary Committee examining the organization's practices and influence.

Roy focused heavily on the SPLC's designation of the Family Research Council, a Washington, D.C.-based Christian public policy organization that was targeted in a 2012 shooting. The gunman later told authorities he selected FRC after finding the group on the SPLC's hate group list.

Roy asked Fair whether the SPLC had “ever acknowledged that its designation contributed to that attack.”

Fair responded that the Family Research Council remains on the organization's list because it "meets the [SPLC's] criteria" for a hate group designation.

Asked by Roy what criteria justified the listing, Fair characterized the FRC as “anti-LGBTQ.”

My wife once heard some excellent advice: look for men who want to be husbands, not for men who just want wives.

Having a wife is tremendous. She provides encouragement and emotional support. She turns a house into a home. She is a companion to share your interests and struggles with, and she’s a key part to starting your own family. It’s no surprise then that the great majority of single men hope to get married. This is especially true now given the increased reporting of loneliness and social isolation among men.

But a man who desires to be married shouldn’t “just” want a wife. He must want to be a husband as well.

The key word there is “want.” It is not enough for a man to realize that it is just for him to be a husband in order to obtain a wife. He must want to be a husband. He must look at the Cross, see how Our Lord gave Himself for His bride the Church, and think “I want to imitate Him.” Meanwhile, the man who wants a wife has his attention focused entirely on the benefits that a wife will provide him, instead of what he wants to give to her.

When looking at what the Church says on marriage, there is a repeated emphasis on the Cross. St. Pope John Paul II wrote that“marriage sets the couple on a path where they will encounter the cross.” Pope Leo XIII specifies that a husband and wife must “give one another an unfailing and unselfish help.”

In WWII we warned the Japanese with leaflets before we bombed their cities.

We might consider doing the same in Iran.

an example might be.

Attention People of Iran

The government of the United States is reluctant to impose even greater hardship on you than your leadership already has. They have cheated you out of a comfortable and even prosperous life by spending all the oil money on supporting murdering terrorists.

We have waited for decades for your government to cease their insane and murderous hatred of Israel and their working to be able to attack us with nuclear weapons. Recently your government has gotten missiles and missile technology from other countries and the threat they represent to us has now taken a greater turn. This is why we have been selectively targeting specific actions in a limited way to force them to abandon their decades long attempt to attack us.

Your leaders may be held captive by their own hatred such that no one can can suggest negotiation without fear of being executed themselves. This often happens when gangsters take control of a country. They are so afraid of each other that no one can do anything but keep going in the same direction.

We apologize for any increased hardships our actions may produce. If you know of anyone in the military who might be reasonable, please ask them to consider the people of Iran so that someone might find a way to break the control your government has over the people of Iran.

The people of Iran deserve better than to be kept as slaves to fuel the insane murderous hatred of a few leaders.

Police and militant groups affiliated with the terrorist group Hamas in Gaza have beaten and executed a number of Palestinians during the war with Israel. According to the UN, which issued the report, this may amount to war crimes.
The UN High Commissioner for Human Rights in Geneva has documented hundreds of crimes in the Gaza Strip. The report says Islamist group Hamas has broken knees and shattered bones with iron pipes among people suspected of collaborating with Israel, stealing relief supplies or belonging to rival groups.
The UN commission recorded 249 cases, 108 of which were fatal, and found that a quarter of the cases involved known Hamas representatives. The report also includes other armed groups.
The investigation presented on Tuesday covers the period August 2024 to January 2026.

Oklahoma has passed a law barring its public colleges and universities from discriminating against student organizations based on their viewpoints and will also require students to take a free speech training during their first year of enrollment.

Oklahoma Republican Gov. Kevin Stitt signed Senate Bill 1725 into law last month after the Republican-controlled Oklahoma Senate approved it in a 40-7 vote and the Republican-controlled Oklahoma House of Representatives passed it in a 78-15 vote.

In both chambers, one Democrat joined Republicans in supporting the bill, while all opposition came from Democrats. The law is scheduled to take effect on July 1.

The legislation states that while “a public institution of higher education may charge a security fee to a student or student organization as part of an application for expressive activities that require a permit,” the fee “shall not be based on the content of the expressive activities, the content of the expression of an invited guest, or the anticipated reaction to the expressive activities of a student or student organization or the expression of an invited guest.”

A teenager who fatally stabbed a standout football player at a Texas high school track meet last April was convicted of murder Tuesday.

Karmelo Anthony, now 19, faces up to life in prison following his conviction in the murder of 17-year-old Austin Metcalf at a school stadium in the Dallas suburb of Frisco in April 2025.

Jurors at the Collin County Courthouse delivered the verdict in just over three hours after closing arguments were delivered earlier Tuesday on the trial’s fifth day, according to The Associated Press.

Anthony — who did not testify in his own defense after a volatile day of testimony by witnesses for the defense — faces up to life in prison upon sentencing.

Cru (Evangelism and Discipleship ministry) is equipping 100,000 believers
to share the Gospel...during 2026 World Cup

David Sonnier, a 1981 West Point graduate, loved the Army and worked to be a model soldier. A bend in his career path brought him into contact for the first time with the traditional Mass. His life, with that of his family, was changed forever—something quite a few Catholics can relate to!

Some priests were sent by their bishop to the funny-farm to heal them. Others were sent there to break them of their intransigent orthodoxy.

By now, most American Catholics who are at least 30 years old know of one Catholic priest (or two) who has been sent away for “treatment” by the diocese. If the priest was liked by the parish, most of the faithful remained hush-hush about why he got sent packing. If he was a distrusted priest, well, lay-lips might be a little looser: Was Father sent away for alcoholism? Did he have a girlfriend? Did he have a boyfriend? Did he harm a child? Maybe he just reached a point of burnout and needed a break…

The world of behavioral care centers or psychological care centers for priests is a mysterious world for most lay Catholics. The 2015 movie Spotlight starring Michael Keaton opened up a bit more on this front. The movie covered the true story of the Boston Globe “Spotlight” section which released the names of priests across the Archdiocese of Boston who had molested children for decades. Many of them were sent to such a psych unit, but only until being recycled back into active ministry.

The Irish Catholic reported this week that the Church of Ireland Archbishop John McDowell referred to ‘racism’ as a ‘new form of sectarianism’.

In a rather unfortunate coincidental timing, the world has woken up in shock today to scenes of absolute savagery in North Belfast.

A Sudanese man has been arrested after attempting to behead an Irish man in a gruesome event captured on video.

He was only prevented from doing so thanks to the incredible bravery of individuals who intervened, with one man using a hurley to strike him across the head a number of times to stop him.

The victim is in ‘critical’ condition.

When protests occurred in City West in October last, due to a sexual assault on a child who had been in state care, there was no shortage of religious leaders to condemn the ‘thuggery’.

Will there be a similar chorus after what we have just witnessed in Belfast or are they waiting for the backlash to instead criticise those who react to such barbarity?

There was no shortage of speculation about what Pope Leo XIV’s speech to the Spanish Parliament would entail.

Few, however, could have predicted just how direct and confrontational it would be.

The pope very directly called out the anti life culture of Spanish politics, condemning abortion and euthanasia in a very unambiguous manner.

The reaction has been one of complete shock and incredulity in Spanish political circles.

Far Left political party Podemos were the main party left in complete disarray after the speech, with a number of their politicians entering into complete meltdown over the pope’s speech.

1 Corinthians 1:26-31 NKJV


Why do you suppose God did it this way? I believe it is because then it reveals that it is from God and not from human flesh. Like those who are not naturally gifted in being “books smart,” not having a ton of knowledge about lots of different subjects, will be more ready and willing to learn from God because they know that they don’t know, and that they need to be taught. So, it reveals that what is taking place is of God and not of human flesh, for God is now doing in certain people’s lives what they have never done before.

My Testimony

For example, I graduated high school with a 1.4 GPA (D average). And I began college reading on a 4th grade level. Although I once excelled in spelling and in grammar and in basic math, and some early levels of music education, when it came to reading comprehension I did horrible. So I hated to read. And my family was poor. And I was not popular in school like some other girls. I was shy and quiet most of the time, unless I was singing. And I was lacking greatly in self-confidence. And I was abused by some people.

I got rejected a lot throughout my life. Most of it was when I got serious about the Scriptures and reading them and following them, as well as teaching them to others, that I began to face the most opposition, much of which was from “church” people and pastors and elders, most of whom were taking their faith walks less seriously than I was, or who were diluting and altering the gospel message to make it less offensive to the world. And I got falsely accused of many things which I did not do, because I was different.

But in 2002 the Lord called me to go back to college and to take some business classes. I assumed I would flunk the entry exam, but I did not. And I struggled to believe that I could learn, but I had some encouragers, and the Lord kept giving me what I needed to persevere. And after four years of taking these classes, by the grace of God, and in the power of God, I got my certificate with a 4.0 GPA (A average). I guarantee you that was of God, and not of my flesh, but what it taught me is that I can learn, which I needed.

And half way through those four years, in 2004, the Lord called me to write down what he teaches me from my times with him in his word each day and then to put these writings on the internet where a herald could “run with it.” I had never done anything like that before, but I obeyed him, and he began to teach me all sorts of things I had no knowledge of ever before. And he had me reading internet articles about our national history and science and government and politics, and all subjects I would never have touched before.

Then in 2011 he began having me write songs – the music and the words – which I had never done before other than putting one of my old poems to a tune one day a long time ago. But he called me to do this, not when I was in my best sounding voice, but when my voice was beginning to fail me, but was still there. And I had to learn all kinds of things, not just about writing and recording songs, but about how to share them on the internet with other people. And that took time, and it took hard work, but I persevered.

In 2018 he then had me begin writing poetry. Now I had, in my early years of life, written a few poems. But these were not like the ones I wrote. Many of these (now over 400) were like nothing I had ever written before. And, as with the words to the songs, so was the poems. The Lord fed the words to me through his Spirit and I just wrote what he gave me to write, with some liberty to rearrange words to fit with the music better or to rhyme better. And he also had me write my life testimony in book form that year, too.

Each one of these things that the Lord kept adding on to my daily tasks were challenging, and they were like nothing I had ever done before. So all this was and still is being led by the Spirit of God in my life, and I get no credit for any of it in my own flesh, by God’s design and purpose. And then in 2020 he had me begin doing video talk devotions. And awhile after that he had me begin writing Christian memes (short devotions in one picture). And a few months ago he put me on “Substack,” an additional place to post these.

And God is the one who gets all the glory, and not me, because I know better than anyone else, other than God, that none of this was done in my flesh without the leading of the Holy Spirit and without being empowered of the Holy Spirit to be able to do what God has called me to do. And I am not saying that it was all absolutely perfect in every way, for I am still a human being, but that I was dependent on the Lord and his leading and his wisdom and his power through it all, or none of this would have ever happened.

Give God the Glory

All of creation now proclaims:
“Give God the glory; honor His name!”
Each day the stars in heav’n above
Show forth His wisdom; tell of His love.

They do not speak. They have no voice.
Yet, they declare we have a choice:
“Worship the God of heav’n above;
Believe in Jesus; trust in His love.”

God’s word is perfect, just and good,
Refreshing souls who trust in the Lord;
Makes wise the simple; radiant -
Lighting our lives with God’s righteousness.

Joy to the heart His words now speak;
Pure and enduring, now we seek.
They are more precious than our gold;
Sweeter than honey; never grow old.

Keeping the word brings great reward.
By the word Jesus speaks and He warns,
Convicting hearts of all their sin;
Forgiving all who call upon Him.

Praying You keep me, Lord, from sins.
May they not rule my life again.
Then will I walk in all Your ways,
Following Jesus all of my days.

God Chose the Powerless
An Original Work / June 9, 2026

Since 2023, roughly 4,400 patients have filed lawsuits against GLP-1 drugmakers. The plaintiffs, who range in age from 18 to 87, have pointed to severe, undisclosed side effects, including blindness, loss of brain function and organ damage. About 75 percent of plaintiffs say they have been left with gastroparesis, a condition that delays stomach emptying, while another 8% report extreme gastrointestinal injuries.


While I don't want to jump the shark on this, I've wondered for a while if the recent GLP-1 craze would end up leading to a Vioxx type situation. I wouldn't be surprised if that number of lawsuits has a sharp increase from the 4400 in the next 5 years.

"Artificial replacement for willpower" solutions don't tend to end up well.

We also saw that happen with Chantix (the prescription med aimed at making people not want to smoke)

Controversial oyster farmer and Marine veteran Graham Platner easily won Maine’s Democratic Senate primary Tuesday night despite a string of scandals, including sporting a Nazi tattoo on his chest.
Platner was projected the winner by the Associated Press at 9:23 pm ET, and jumped to an early lead with 73.3% of the vote with about a fifth of the ballots counted, beating Gov. Janet Mills, who stopped campaigning in April.

It's all about seeking more power and control.

Please pray that if it is God's will the bad storms miss us and God will allow us to keep power and allow us to keep the house cool over the next few days of storms. It's so hot and please ask God to heal me. Thank you and God bless you. Carmen. I ask in the name of Jesus.

Trump administration officials earlier this year killed a federal criminal investigation into the coal empire owned by Sen. Jim Justice, a Republican from West Virginia and a close ally of the president’s.

The investigation examined potential criminal violations of the Clean Water Act by the multistate mining operations largely run by Justice’s son, Jay, according to current and former officials familiar with the matter.

The criminal probe was a significant escalation in the yearslong effort to police serial pollution offenses by Virginia-based Southern Coal and dozens of affiliated mining operations controlled by the family. In the past decade, Southern Coal and other Justice corporations have racked up tens of thousands of alleged violations of the Clean Water Act and have been sued repeatedly by state and federal prosecutors over their failure to properly follow environmental laws at their mining sites.

The investigation shuttered by the Trump administration was a joint effort by prosecutors and investigators with the Environmental Protection Agency, the Department of Justice’s Environmental Crimes Section and the U.S. Attorney’s Office of the Western District of Virginia to probe whether the incessant violations of antipollution laws had risen to the level of criminal behavior, people familiar with the matter said.

“I’ve never heard of that happening before,” said former federal prosecutor Rick Mountcastle, speaking generally about DOJ protocols. Mountcastle spent 24 years as a prosecutor in the Western District of Virginia. “There shouldn’t be some sort of untouchables list of people who are immune from enforcement.”
The move is part of a pattern of behavior at the top echelons of the DOJ to push cases against Trump’s political adversaries and ease up on allies.
Environmental enforcement against large polluters has plunged under the second Trump administration. Just days after inauguration, the administration reassigned top career environmental lawyers at the DOJ, including those overseeing the Southern Coal case, to work on the president’s immigration crackdown. At the beginning of the year, Blanche personally ordered prosecutors to stand down from cases against diesel emissions cheating.

The Book of Job

Many of us have read the book of Job and have seen the trials God put him through,we can all agree Job was hard done buy and whilst we feel sorry for Job, we cant help but think about our ourselves and if ever we found ourselves being in that situation wondering how we would react,or what we will do, at the end of the day it is a scary thought to have your whole life ripped away from you without explanation and in Jobs case being a righteous man made it all the more confusing.

What once was one of my most feared books to read in the Bible was the book of Job,like myself and many others we have what we value most to us and that is in the form of family,our jobs,children,possesions and so on,to suddenly have these things taken away from us would cause all types of grief in our lives

Now what was once the Bible story that I feared most has now become the Story that gives me the most peace and assurace,that is because their is a greater message in the Book of Job one that offers peace and guidance on how we can build and maintain a relationship with God.

We as humans tend to look at and react to what we can relate to and whether or not a situation like Jobs can become our reality,we become hyperfixated on the what ifs of life and sometimes don't see the greater picture or message.but what God has revealed to me I plan to reveal to you.

Now one day the angels came to present themselves to God and Satan came along with them,Satan on face value seems like he's trying to manipulate God into striking down Job because He Thinks Job is righteous only because God has blessed him in many ways,but before that God says to Satan,have you ever considered my servant Job? Their is none like him on earth,God being all knowing and all powerful knew what tactics Satan was up to but beat him before he could get a word out, When God gave permission to Satan to destroy Jobs life Satan thought he got his way and would prove his point.

Now at this point Job had his family taken away all his land, his animals,his wealth, everything that belonged to him except his life,after more heckling from Satan God gave permission to Him to inflict wounds on Job and make him ill, that was the final straw for job, job at this point was at his wits end he finally snapped,he went through a barage of emotions he went from crying out to God screaming why me,wondering what he did wrong, pleading his case with his three friends explaining to them he had did nothing wrong to deserve this affliction that came upon him,he went as far as cursing his own life and cursing the day he had been born, he asked God to take his life because their was no point of living anymore,he even went as far to say if God was before him he could honestly say he has done nothing wrong enough to deserve this,his three friends rebuke job they go back and forth for days deliberating amongst themselves trying to work with job to find out what Job had did wrong, they were defending God to Job saying that Jobs reaction is over the top almost to dramatic and that he needs to look deeper in himself because a righteous God doesn't pay back evil with good, they kept coming up with reasons all whilst Job kept hitting back with Raw emotion and defence for his case.

After many days of deliberation God shows up in a whirlwind and rebukes Job he opens Jobs eyes to the reality that Gods wisdom and reasoning surpasses all human emotion and interlect,he asks Job a simple question, Where were you when I laid the Earth's foundation? God went through a series of Questioning to Job challenging him on who knows what,and on who knows best,He shows Job that Gods reasoning for what he does is beyond human comprehension at times,God doesn't even justify himself to Job and give him the reason why this all happened to him instead he overwhelms job with questions about creation, nature, the seas, the stars,and the animals itself,He shows Job that he does not have the knowlege required to accuse God of injustice,Jobs suffering is real but does not have God like understanding and that it is better to Trust the wisdom of God who sees what he cannot. After the lamenting and lessons taught God gave back to Job two times more than what he lost.

Now this part here is what myself and what I think everyone misses this part is what should give us believers peace and clarity that yes their is a great lesson here to trust in God's wisdom and that we should humble ourselves to God and trust his understanding and reasoning even when it doesn't make sense and even when it is so hard. But when God was done with Job he turned his attention to his friends specifically Eliphaz,God said I am angry with you and your two friends,because you have not spoken the truth about me,as my servant Job has.

Hang on a minute? Job was the one with his first clentched to the air accusing God for what he had done, he was the one cursing his life and everything in it, he was the one back chatting to his friends when they would defend the case of God to him, yet instead God turned around and rebuked Eliphaz and his friends for speaking wrongly about him? You would think it would of been the other way around.

But through this sequence God has shown us what is acceptable to him,he has shown us a way to pray, to draw near to him,he has taught us how to build and maintain a relationship, and that is through one word, HONESTY, right through the book of Job, Job maintained his position he would not stray away from the fact that he was hard done by and he let God know all about it through his raw emotion but ultimately he was honest. And although God still rebuked him and put him back in his place, God still had him ahead of Jobs friends who were their offering up shallow excuses as to Why God did what he did,mainting their own self rightousnes, leaning on their own wisdom and understading as to why God does what he does..God ultimately said you guys are worse, Job was in the wrong but at least he poured out his heart and was willing to wrestle with God to gain understanding but you guys sat their claiming that you know me and my ways when in fact you have no idea.

The greatest thing we can take out of this is that Yes Jobs story is sad and it is a scary position to think about let alone be in, but the hidden message in all this, the assurances of knowing that God has called us into a honest relationship with him gives us so much peace and hope,to know that when we are going through tough times we can lean on God and sit their and lament with our hearts, we can pour out our hearts and know that he is right their,this type of Honesty goes beyond just when life gets hard,it is a blueprint for how we ought to approach God and the relationship we seek to have with him, whether we have done wrong or wrong has been done to us,whether its small details in our lives,whether it unconfessed sin,or the daily fleshly battles we face everyday,a honest relationship with God is what matters most. The fact we can be so honest with a all knowing all powerful God is such a luxury and I truly believe, that gives freedom, knowing that we've poured out our hearts and given it to someone who is so much more capable than we are is what should give us rest,

So yes Jobs story is sad and so are many of our own, but knowing that Gods wisdom and understading goes beyond ours gives us hope, knowing that we are called into a honest relationship with God,that gives us Rest.

When Perrone felt the pain and saw the blood, she immediately suspected she was having another ectopic pregnancy. Years before, she’d lost her right fallopian tube with the first ectopic pregnancy, but she was able to act quickly with the second and save her left fallopian tube by getting the medication methotrexate. The third time she felt the symptoms, she knew she needed to act as quickly as possible – and that her life was on the line, because complications could arise within hours. The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) recommends administering methotrexate, the medication to treat ectopic pregnancy, as soon as possible.

But when she went to her local hospital, Advocate Good Shepherd, she was not seen in person by the OB/GYN, she said [until the next day].

“I kept asking her to help me,” she said. But [Dr.] Coll refused to administer methotrexate, Perrone alleged. As she remembered it, the doctor told her “we have to weigh out the life of the mother and the baby, and there’s a 1% chance that there is a baby in there”. When Perrone asked about her right to an abortion under Illinois law, the doctor said “you’re not going to bully me into doing this”, Perrone said.

Advocate Good Shepherd and Coll did not respond to the Guardian’s press inquiries by publication time.

The Illinois Hospital Emergency Service Act explicitly identifies ectopic pregnancy as an acute medical condition that requires stabilizing care. If the facility is unable to provide that care, the law requires immediate transfer.

Perrone went on TikTok to talk about her experiences – first about being denied care, and then about the loss of her fertility. Her videos went viral. As Perrone began working with the lawyers on the lawsuit, she received a knock on the door – Coll was suing her for defamation.

Miami woman charged in $34M scheme makes FBI's ‘Most Wanted Fraudsters' list​

Escoe is one of the first eight fugitives to make the new list announced by FBI Director Kash Patel last week.

Escoe was last seen in Palm Beach County on June 3, 2025, and had been scheduled for an appearance in court two days later but never showed up, officials said. A federal arrest warrant had been issued for her on May 22, 2025.

The Church Divided

This was the apostle Paul speaking. The church in Corinth was divided because the people were largely becoming followers of man. For they associated themselves as either being of Paul or of Apollos or of Cephas, or some said they were of Christ. So this would be a lot like the church today claiming to be Baptist, Methodist, Episcopalian, Lutheran, Charismatic, Presbyterian, and the like. So, he asked them if Christ was divided and if Paul was crucified for them and if they were baptized in the name of Paul.

1 Corinthians 1:17-19 NKJV


So, first of all we need to understand that “the church” is not these individual organizations largely of human origin which are incorporated underneath (joined/partnered with) the state (the government) which are largely being marketed to the people of the world, which God forbids. The church is the universal body of believers in Jesus Christ who have died with him to sin and who are obeying our Lord as a matter of life practice. We, the people of God, are his church of which HE alone is to be the head.

[Matthew 21:12-13; John 2:13-17; Acts 5:27-32; 1 Corinthians 1:10-13; 1 Corinthians 3:1-9; 2 Corinthians 6:14-18; Philippians 3:18-19; Revelation 2:1-29; Revelation 3:1-22; Revelation 13:5-8; Revelation 18:1-5]

False Teachings of Man

But this isn’t just about the church being divided by denominations and partnerships with the state. This is about the body of Christ, his church, being divided by theologies and doctrines and teachings, many of which are not of God, and which are taught out of their biblical context in order to deliberately and habitually teach lies to the people. For many are avoiding many of the teachings of Christ and of his New Testament apostles in order to deliberately lead the people to accepting what is of Satan, instead.

For many are teaching a “gospel” of salvation totally absent of God’s requirements that we must deny self, die to sin, and obey God, in practice, if we are to have deliverance from sin and the hope of eternal life with God in heaven when we die, or when Jesus returns. So what they are teaching is of this world, and of the flesh nature. And so many who profess the name of Jesus have continued to live according to the flesh, doing what their flesh desires, living in sensuality, idolatry, immorality and in deceptiveness.

Thus, they are not in love with Jesus Christ, but they are in love with self and with the flesh. And what they desire is not to be like Jesus in character, but they hunger after what and/or who is wicked, evil, corrupt, immoral, lewd and dishonest. They hunger and thirst after what is sinful, and they embrace evil, and they want what is of the flesh more than they want anything else. And so much of what is called “church” is giving its stamp of approval on addictive sin and moral corruptness among its “members,” too.

Paul was a preacher of the gospel of Jesus Christ in its purest and most biblical sense, as he was led by the Holy Spirit, and not of the flesh. His wisdom did not come from theologians and debaters of the Scriptures, but his wisdom came from God alone, by the Spirit. He did not use words which would attract the world to himself, but he spoke the truth of God’s word for the salvation of human lives out from under their addiction to sin so they will now serve Jesus Christ in walks of obedience to our Lord’s commands.

For by God-gifted faith in Jesus Christ, which is not of our own doing, we are crucified with Christ in death to sin and raised with Christ to walk in newness of life in him, no longer to live as slaves to sin but as slaves to righteousness in walks of obedience to God’s commands. We are no longer to permit sin to reign in our mortal bodies to make us obey its desires. For if sin is what we obey, it results in death. But if obedience to God is what we obey, it results in sanctification, and its end is eternal life with God (see Romans 6:1-23).

So, if a pastor or a preacher of “the Scriptures” is telling you that you do not have to repent (die to sin) and obey God, in practice, and that if you profess faith in Jesus Christ that God is now going to overlook all of your future sins, and heaven is still your eternal destiny, you are being lied to big time! So go to the Scriptures yourselves. Read them in their correct biblical context. Read them under the direction of the Holy Spirit. And then surrender your lives to Christ to obey him and to no longer walk in sin, all in his power.

To the angels of all the churches write:
These are the words of your Lord and your God.
I know all your deeds, and your witness, too,
And who holds to My words and tells what’s true.
I know all your hard work and your perseverance,
Yet I hold against you: you’ve forsaken Me.
Listen to what I say to you.

You have people there who deny My name,
And who put the cross of Christ up to shame.
They entice the people to Me, profane,
And their worship of Me is all in vain.
They are so adult’rous as they chase their idols,
And you put up with them easily enough.
Listen to what I say to you.

You give off an image of godliness,
But what you present is so fraudulent,
Or else you lack passion for Jesus Christ,
So you look to others to tell what’s right.
I say turn from your sin, or you will face judgment.
He who overcomes will have eternal life.
Listen to what I say to you.

I know your afflictions and poverty;
How you suffer for your Lord patiently.
Do not fear the devil and company.
You be faithful to your Lord endlessly.
I know all your weakness and your dedication.
You have kept My Word and not denied your Lord.
I will write on you My new name.

The Cleveland Clinic Foundation has agreed not to provide transgender-related surgeries and hormone drugs for minors and give $2 million to fund detransition care as part of a legal agreement.

The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) announced that the Cleveland Clinic entered into an agreement with federal authorities and Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost.

Under the agreement, the Cleveland Clinic will pay $308,000 to resolve allegations that it submitted false billings to public and private payers to secure insurance coverage for so-called gender transition procedures on minors. The facility has also committed $2 million to provide care for individuals who regret their gender transition, commonly known as detransitioners.

Civil Division Assistant Attorney General Brett Shumate said in the announcement that he was grateful for the clinic’s decision “to be part of the solution” and “not part of the problem.”
